Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a reservation timer device for a jar pot or other cooking device using a microcomputer.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a reservation timer device for a cooking appliance uses a display device that displays the current time to display the stored reserved time for the completion of cooking.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Since the device has the functions described above, when setting the reservation time, it is necessary to switch one display device to display the reservation time on the display device. If a plurality of reserved times are stored in the display device, the operation becomes complicated because it is no longer possible to remember which time was stored, making it extremely difficult to use.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made in order to solve these problems, and it provides a control panel (a plurality of reserved times for exclusively displaying the reserved times for the completion of cooking stored in the flannel). (Function) By doing the above, the contents of the reservation time can be confirmed on the container, and anyone can easily set the reservation time in an easy-to-understand manner.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 is a front view of a control panel (hereinafter referred to as panel) for a jar pot that uses a microcomputer.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the relationship between each means.

In the figure, 1 is a current time display section provided in the panel P, and is a current time setting means 5 in the microcomputer, which will be described later.
Time” key 2. By pressing the "minute" key 3, the "hour" and "
The rice cooking operation can be started by changing the "minute" and pressing the "end" key 4, which is the same means 5. Further, the current time set by the current time setting means 5 is timed by a clock means B having a timekeeping function in a microcomputer (not shown) provided in the main body of the jar pot (not shown), and displayed on the current time display section 1. The current time set is now displayed. 15 and 16 are the reserved time display sections stored in the reserved time storage means 8 provided in the microcomputer, and when the clock means 6 starts operating, a specific reserved time 2, for example, 6:20 am, is displayed on the reserved time 1 on the display section 15. This is initialized by the reservation time automatic setting means 7 which automatically stores 6:00 pm in reservation 2 on the 〇〇 display section 16. 9 is a "select" key provided in the panel P, and is used to select the time when correcting the time displayed on the current time display section 1 or the reserved time display section 15, 16;
When you first press -, the current time display section 1 flashes, and when you press - then the reserved time display section 15 flashes, and the current time display section 1 returns to the original lighting display, and when you press - again, the current time display section 1 returns to its original lighting display. The reserved time display section 169 returns to the original time display section 1 and repeats the current time display section 1. Also, when the reserved time display section 15 or 16 is blinking, the "hour" key 2
゜If you correct the time using the ``minute'' key 3 and press the ``end'' key 4, the memory of the reservation time will be corrected.At this time, press the ``select'' key 9. "Time" key 2. Each "minute" key 6 also functions as a reservation time adjustment means 10 provided in the microcomputer. Numeral 11 and 12 are set buttons for setting the reservation timer (reservation start 1, reservation start 2), which are arranged so as to correspond to the reservation display sections 15 and 16, respectively.

The reserved time displayed on the reserved time display section 15.16 is the cooking completion time, and when the set button 11.12 is pressed, it is set in advance from the clock means 6 and the reserved time storage means 8, and is stored. Subtract the predetermined cooking time (for example, 45 minutes for rice) and compare it with the current time.
The comparison means 13 starts cooking when the current time matches the cooking start time, so that the cooking is completed at the scheduled time.

Reference numeral 14 denotes cooking execution means, which starts energizing heating means such as a rice cooking heater (not shown), and is composed of, for example, a relay.

Note that the current time setting means 599 clock stage 6. Reservation time automatic setting means 7. Reservation time storage means 8. Reservation time adjustment method 1
0 and the comparison means 13 are programmed, for example, in a microcomputer provided in the main body (not shown) of the jar pot, and the cooking execution means (4 is provided in the main body and executes cooking in response to instructions from the microcomputer). It is provided in a control section (not shown) that performs control.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

First, when you start powering up the cooker, the current time display section 1 flashes 0:00 AM, and the "hour" key 2. "Minute" key 6
When the current time is set and the "end" key 4 is pressed, the display changes to a lit display and the clock means 6 starts operating.

At the same time, 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. are displayed on the reservation time display sections 15 and 16 by the reservation time automatic setting means 7, respectively, and the respective reservation times are stored.

To set the cooking to be completed at the reserved time, press the set button 11 or 12 next to the displayed reserved time display section 15, 16, respectively.

The current time by the clock means B and the reserved time storage means 8 are set by subtracting the preset cooking time (45 minutes) from the reserved time so that the cooking is completed at the reserved time when the set button 11 or 12 is pressed. Comparing means 13 compares the ever-changing time, and when the current time becomes the same as the cooking start time, the comparing means 1
3, a cooking start instruction is issued to the cooking execution means 14 to start cooking.

Also, to change the reserved time for cooking completion, press the "Select" key 9.
Press to make the time on the current time display section 1 and the display section 15 in the reserved time display section 15 and 16 blink,
The displayed time is corrected using the "hour" key 2 and the "minute" key B, and when the "end" key 4 is pressed, the corrected time is set and stored in the reservation time storage means 8.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the cooking timer device of the present invention has the following advantages:
By displaying the reservation time, the content of the reservation time can be understood and anyone can easily set the reservation time, which has great practical value.
